CNN  —  President Donald Trump rarely stops bragging about his “great relationship” with Vladimir Putin. A skeptical world will soon find out whether the supposed mind-meld counts for anything. The Russian president, author of an unprovoked and brutal invasion of Ukraine, responded in time-honored Moscow fashion Thursday to the US plan for an immediate ceasefire that the administration forced Kyiv into supporting. Putin produced a long set of obfuscations and new demands that would be unacceptable to Ukraine. But they may have been designed to tempt a US president who is desperate for the kind of win a truce would…

CNN  —  Facing intense pressure over the threat of a shutdown in less than two days, lawmakers are racing to push through a government funding plan by Friday’s midnight deadline. Lawmakers last passed a stopgap funding bill in December, averting a shutdown at the time. That measure, signed by then-President Joe Biden, extended funding to mid-March. If the government does shut down starting Saturday, it would not be the first one for President Donald Trump. He presided over the longest government shutdown in four decades during his first term. The president placed the blame for the current potential government shutdown…

CNN  —  Veteran Democrats privately believed Chuck Schumer’s decision on the shutdown was inevitable. Others were ready for the top Senate Democrat to lead them into their first big battle against President Donald Trump — and instead have been left fuming. Schumer’s declaration Thursday night that he would vote for Republicans’ stopgap spending bill, backing down in the party’s first big leverage point in President Donald Trump’s second term has confirmed a dire political reality for his caucus: Democrats had no good options left to avert a government shutdown with just hours to go until the deadline. “If we go…

One of Morgan Wallen’s hit songs could have sounded a lot different had another country artist not turned it down beforehand.During a recent appearance on Bobby Bones’ podcast “BobbyCast,” country superstar Luke Bryan revealed that he “stupidly” passed on the tune “Sand in My Boots” solely due to the fact that “it had a Chevrolet in it.””I just went through two years of my life where I was like, ‘Man, I sing about trucks a lot, I sing about tailgates,'” he explained. “I got in my head a little bit because I think I had a lot of negativity, socially,…

CNN  —  The outgoing prime minister of Greenland on Thursday said he would summon party leaders to strengthen their rejection of US President Donald Trump’s plan to annex the island territory, following his most recent comments on the issue. In an Oval Office news briefing with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte earlier Thursday, the president expressed confidence the US takeover of Greenland “will happen.” Responding to a question from a journalist about his vision to annex the territory, Trump said, “I think it will happen.” “We need that for international security. Not just security, international,” he continued. Rutte did not…

CNN  —  President Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court in a series of emergency appeals Thursday to allow him to move forward with plans to end birthright citizenship, elevating a fringe legal theory that several lower courts have resoundingly rejected. In a series of emergency appeals, the Trump administration argued that lower courts had gone too far in handing down nationwide injunctions blocking the controversial policy, and it asked the justices to limit the impact of those orders. A federal judge in January described his executive order as “blatantly unconstitutional” and blocked its implementation. Days later, a judge in…

CNN  —  The Trump administration has formally asked Pentagon officials for “credible military options” to ensure unfettered American access to the Panama Canal, one of several new directives outlined in what amounts to a major overhaul of US strategic priorities, according to a new memo that was sent to senior leaders and reviewed by CNN. President Donald Trump has repeatedly insisted that the US needs to reclaim the canal, most notably during his recent speech before Congress, but his administration has now formally requested potential military options for doing so, the memo from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth reveals.
